Abstract

BASTOS, Liana Albernaz de Melo. The body-subject. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.4, pp. 35-42. ISSN 0486-641X.

From the use of Freudian theories, the author develops the notion of body-subject. There is a brief theoretical retrospective emphasizing the innovative character of psychoanalytic practice. The author points out the insufficiencies of the positivistic medical practice when treating the human body. There is also the presentation of a clinical case which sustains, from a technical point of view, the notion of bodysubject.

Keywords : Freudian theory; psychoanalytic practice; medical practice; body-subject.
